Constructs new `shared_ptr` from a variety of pointer types that refer to an object to manage.

For the purposes of the description below, a pointer type `Y*` is said to be compatible with a pointer type `T*` if either `Y*` is convertible to `T*` or `Y` is the array type `U[N]` and `T` is `U cv []` (where cv is some set of cv-qualifiers).

1,2) Constructs a `shared_ptr` with no managed object, i.e. empty `shared_ptr`.
3-7) Constructs a `shared_ptr` with ptr as the pointer to the managed object. If `T` is an array type `U[N]`, `Y(*)[N]` must be convertible to `T*`. If `T` is an array type `U[]`, `Y(*)[]` must be convertible to `T*`. Otherwise, `Y*` must be convertible to `T*`. Additionally:
3) Uses a delete-expression (delete ptr, if `T` is not an array type; delete[] ptr if `T` is an array type) as the deleter. `Y` must be a complete type. That delete expression must be well formed, have well-defined behavior and not throw any exceptions.
4,5) Uses the specified deleter d as the deleter. The expression d(ptr) must be well formed, have well-defined behavior and not throw any exceptions. `Deleter` must be CopyConstructible, and its copy constructor and destructor must not throw exceptions.
6,7) Same as (4,5), but additionally uses a copy of alloc for allocation of data for internal use. `Alloc` must be a Allocator, and its copy constructor and destructor must not throw exceptions.
8) The aliasing constructor: constructs a `shared_ptr` which shares ownership information with r, but holds an unrelated and unmanaged pointer ptr. Even if this `shared_ptr` is the last of the group to go out of scope, it will call the destructor for the object originally managed by r. However, calling `get()` on this will always return a copy of ptr. It is the responsibility of the programmer to make sure that this ptr remains valid as long as this shared_ptr exists, such as in the typical use cases where ptr is a member of the object managed by r or is an alias (e.g., downcast) of r.get().
9) Constructs a `shared_ptr` which shares ownership of the object managed by r. If r manages no object, *this manages no object too. The template overload doesn't participate in overload resolution if `Y*` is not compatible with `T*`.
10) Move-constructs a `shared_ptr` from r. After the construction, *this contains a copy of the previous state of r, r is empty. The template overload doesn't participate in overload resolution if `Y*` is not compatible with `T*`.
11) Constructs a `shared_ptr` which shares ownership of the object managed by r. `Y*` must be compatible with `T*`. Note that r.lock() may be used for the same purpose: the difference is that this constructor throws an exception if the argument is empty, while weak_ptr<T>::lock() constructs an empty `shared_ptr` in that case.
12) Constructs a `shared_ptr` that stores and owns the object formerly owned by r. `Y*` must be convertible to `T*`. After construction, r is empty.
13) Constructs a `shared_ptr` which manages the object currently managed by r. The deleter associated with r is stored for future deletion of the managed object. r manages no object after the call. This overload doesn't participate in overload resolution if `Y*` is not compatible with `T*`.
If `D` is a reference type, equivalent to shared_ptr(r.release(), std::ref(r.get_deleter()). Otherwise, equivalent to shared_ptr(r.release(), r.get_deleter()).

### Notes

When constructing a `shared_ptr` from a raw pointer to an object of a type derived from std::experimental::enable_shared_from_this, the constructors of `shared_ptr` update the private `weak_ptr` member of the std::experimental::enable_shared_from_this base so that future calls to `shared_from_this()` would share ownership with the `shared_ptr` created by this raw pointer constructor.

The raw pointer overloads assume ownership of the pointed-to object, and so constructing a `shared_ptr` using the raw pointer overload for an object that is already managed by a `shared_ptr` may lead to undefined behavior, even if the object is of a type derived from std::experimental::enable_shared_from_this.

### Parameters

ptr | - | a pointer to an object to manage
d | - | a deleter to use to destroy the object
alloc | - | an allocator to use for allocations of data for internal use
r | - | another smart pointer to share the ownership to or acquire the ownership from

### Exceptions

3) std::bad_alloc if required additional memory could not be obtained. May throw implementation-defined exception for other errors. The applicable delete-expression (delete ptr if `T` is not an array type, delete[] ptr otherwise) is called if an exception occurs.
4-7) std::bad_alloc if required additional memory could not be obtained. May throw implementation-defined exception for other errors. d(ptr) is called if an exception occurs.
11) std::bad_weak_ptr if r.expired() == true. The constructor has no effect in this case.
12) std::bad_alloc if required additional memory could not be obtained. May throw implementation-defined exception for other errors. This constructor has no effect if an exception occurs.
13) If an exception is thrown, the constructor has no effects.
